I agree! In fact, I started listenning to this song when my cousin brought Ignition album when he went to my home. I remember I repeated this song for several times lol. I didn't know they recorded a new version for Dirty Magic's song. By the way, it's awesome too.
The original has a more grimy innocence about it. This version just helps bring it up to date for the modern era, can we have more new material like this please?
That's probably what makes people like the original. This version, however, has better singing, better sounding guitar tracks, and is a better overall mix. This version is well-refined and really good!
It's a tough one. Both are equally as good I think. The original is more haunting in its rawness, whereas this one has richer instrumentation and feels "fuller".
This song is such a good classic Offspring song , but they are drowning out the guitar during the chorus which was so powerful in the original. Other than that , It is great
God what the fuck? Ignition was so good! This reminds why I quit the Offspring when I heard that Original Prankster shit. What even happened to Dexter's voice man? Sounds like he's trying too hard.
I asked my Alexa to play me dirty magic and she played me this. I don’t like it nearly as much - shouldn’t drowning out the power chords that start the chorus, that’s where the energy comes from
